By default, asciidoc creates a self contained distributable HTML
document which includes all necessary CSS and JavaScripts. Use the
asciidoc--attribute linkcss command-line option if you prefer
to link (rather than embed) external CSS and JavaScript files.

How Slidy uses AsciiDoc markup

The document header is displayed as the first page of the slideshow.

If the document has a preamble (the content between the header and
the first section) it will be displayed on the second page.

Each top level section is displayed as a separate slide.

If the AsciiDoc incremental attribute is defined then all lists
and OpenBlock elements are treated as incremental i.e. Slidy
exposes their child elements one at a time as you progress through
the slideshow.

You can explicitly set an element as incremental by setting its
role attribute to incremental. Example:

Slidy Specific Attributes

incremental

If this attribute is defined then all lists and OpenBlock elements are
classed as incremental i.e. Slidy will expose them one at a time as
you progress through the slideshow. The default behavior is for the
show to progress a full slide at at time. Elements that have been
explicitly classed as incremental with the role attribute are
always displayed incrementally.

duration

Set this to the estimated number of minutes that your presentation
will take and Slidy will display a countdown timer at the bottom right
of the slideshow. For example, this asciidoc command-line option
--attribute duration=5 sets the duration to five minutes.

copyright

If you set the copyright attribute it will be displayed in the Slidy
menu bar at the bottom of the slide. If the copyright attribute is
not define then the author name, if it is defined, will be displayed.

outline

Setting the role attribute to outline in a bulleted or numbered
list allows nested lists to be expanded and collapsed using the mouse.
Nested lists are expanded when an enclosing list item (the ones with
blue bullet points or numbers) is clicked.

You can use AsciiDoc CSS themes. For example, the asciidoc--attribute theme=volnitsky command-line option will substitute
the asciidoc.css stylesheet for the distributed Volnitsky
volnitsky.css stylesheet.

An additional stylesheet can be specified by setting the
stylesheet attribute. For example, the --attribute
stylesheet=myslidy.css will load myslidy.css after the standard
CSS files.

Tips

The Slidy help? and contents? links at the bottom left are your
friends.

Use the AsciiDoc data-uri attribute to embed images in your
slideshow — add this attribute entry to your document’s header:

:data-uri:

Use the AsciiDoc max-width attribute to set the document display
width. For example, add this attribute entry to your document’s
header:
